1. (NU) - Sponsored News - Tra-
ditionally mayonnaise is thought
of as something to spread on sand-
wiches or burgers. It turns out this
creamy condiment has more uses
and cooking appeal than you may
have imagined.
Now, more people are realiz-
ing its health-friendly ingredients
and versatility as something other
than a condiment.
TheAssociation for Dressings
and Sauces points to the fact
that mayonnaise contains healthy
oils, such as soybean and canola,
which are natural sources of al-
pha-linolenic acid, an essential
omega-3 fatty acid. In addition to
important fatty acids, these oils
and the eggs in mayonnaise are
also sources of our daily intake of
vitamin E.
Further, according to theAmer-
ican Heart Association, omega-3s
work to reduce blood pressure and
improve overall heart health.
More than just a sandwich
spread, here are some other ways
to use mayonnaise.
• Use in baking. Mayonnaise
contains eggs and oil, which help
produce more moist cakes and
cookies. Mayonnaise adds a moist
texture and rich flavor to baked
goods, and it’s a worthy substitute
when you’re out of eggs.
• Use for grilling. You can
brush it on while grilling fish,
chicken or corn on the cob.
• Use in cold salads. Mayon-
naise is the base of egg salad, pota-
to salad, chicken salad, tuna sal-
ad, pasta salad and coleslaw.

try your hand at making a home-
made tartar sauce for your fish?
• Spice it up. Try adding some
herbs to your mayo to give a pop
to your sandwich by adding extras
such as curry powder, gherkins, ca-
pers, or any other spices that strike
your fancy.
